Even if they somehow made it to the eastern conference playoffs and beat most likely the heat , there is no way they would be able to beat San Antonio , The Thunder or the Clippers over 7 games in my opinion....

I had high hopes early in the year, but the way this team has played I would not at all be shocked by a first-round exit. There's a whole second half (when the NBA REALLY starts, amiright?) to play, so PLENTY of time to turn it around. That awesome start has given the Knicks a shred of cushion.

I think the problem is on the defensive end actually. They are scored on too easily for my liking..

And also they have too many periods during most games where they have brain fades and big intensity lapses which cause them to be in the losing positions they get themselves into...

Lately this has been a problem: A perimeter defender gets torched. Knicks bigs late to react. The defensive rotations end up being late, and if the opposing team passes out they are getting wiiiiiide open looks for 3.

this teams needs a legitimate second scorer. the knicks will never win when melo has an off night and the three's aren't going down. terrible loss tonight.

ha ha ha a 2nd scorer, your kidding right??????
How about this team needs some "GELLIN-Chemistry" added into its ISO-Melo system (individual-system).

we only average 4 to 5 points per-game on fastbreak-baskets, u can count on one hand all the fastbreak layups/dunks we made in our 50 games (thats not good!). Plus our inside scoring is always lower than 20% of our total score.
O'yea .. our team-defense is so Effin sorry each game it gives our two worst defensive-players the oportunity to Ball-Hog as if the two-players are bailing us out on the offensive-end by shooting relentless 3-balls.

Toronto Raptors just played 4 games in 6 days .. in our last two games in MSG we performed like we want to be traded before the dead-line...
